  1. No of course not. But this is VT, where liking anything that isn't on the official list of stuff you're allowed to like is very much frowned upon. Where can I get this list? I want to do some frowning.
  2. You may have misunderstood. I asked for evidence, not appeals to ancient wisdom and new age nonsense. Evidence. Data backed up with facts. Not ideas backed up with (and let's be generous) hot air. Where were your aliens for the first 4.54 billion years that Earth's been around?
  3. There are a 100 billion ish stars in our galaxy and there are more galaxies than that. There are almost certainly a lot more than a billion planets. Ok Patrick Moore, calm down ;-) I've just done some googling and we really have no idea how many stars there are in our galaxy. Anywhere from 100 billion to 300 billion, although the smart money seems to be the lower end of that range. The figure for visible universe galaxies seems to currently be around 200 billion. That's a lot of stars. Life elsewhere is an extremely high probability. Intelligent life elsewhere is an extremely high probability. The chance of us ever meeting other life is infinitesimal. At least with our current understanding of how it all works.
  4. Evidence? Being a good sceptic I have to ask you to show this evidence.

  6. Factory reset. And then install cyanogenmod.
  7. Have you got an iphone then? I had to say iPhone to specifically pick on it's keyboard. Sent from my iPhone You miss my point. People mentioning having an iphone when they could just say "phone" or "mobile" pisses me off but shouldn't.
  8. New iphone version uploaded last night. Just minor bug fixes. Should be released in about a week.
  9. Only if teachers can do it too.
  10. Seeing as someone asked in the Android thread,, the "STEM on Google+" community just had this post. It's 10x the power density of Li-ion storage. If anyone buys the paper can they expand on it?
  11. Clear your cookies and cache. Restart the browser.
  12. (sorry, VT isn't broken, fix your browser)
  13. Google Play Edition. In the US you can buy some of the premium phones direct from Google running Android in its pure form with no manufacturer crap. Usually it's fairlyeasy to buy the normal version and flash it to the GPe software.
  14. I'm in agreement with what Conor said above. As for the battery, no not really. It's just bigger
  15. Yes, it sounds like for you with your very specific requirements and contacts that might be true. But you are using g+, just not much until people move across, that will increase. g+ also does everything twitter does, but with better filtering and no pointless length limits. It's good that we have a choice. I use g+ and hangouts every day. I use facebook occasionally (usually in relation to running VT) and I've not re-installed whatsapp since I last wiped my phone (arond xmas). I don't think I've lost contact with anyone that matters and I have much better access to current information on things of interest to me. As you say, horses for courses. And again, I didn't say "instead". PS. I may have mixed you up with another poster when replying on the app. Sorry.
  16. I don't expect many people will just switch, even though it sounds like you've already given up on facebook. (Although Whatsapp is facebook.) You've misunderstood g+ though. While it is good for the "friends" stuff (but quiet until others move), it's much better for following things that interest you.
  17. But in the travel forum please, not in a thread about a particular story.
  18. Perhaps if we could offer our visitors smaller allocations after the minimum then they might do the same in return? That way all clubs could buy smaller batches of additional tickets without the risk of getting caught with unsold tickets. In order for this to work the tickets might need to be put on sale sooner and people might have to commit to purchase earlier. If only we had a Supporters Consultation Group which a) discussed useful things, not pie flavours and invited people to attend.
  19. But here they still threaten web sites who link to photos taken inside the ground. (Although I've not had a threat this season.)
  20. Sorry, but this is completely untrue. If you want a technical explanation ask in the Tech forum.
  21. I can and I do. Your brain has been turned to mush
  22. you might want to have a word with Miss Limpid then ..PS how was the curry I've no idea, it wasn't me eating curry in a Chinese restaurant. That's a cracking example of just how poor facebook is. You don't even bother to read it properly. I don't care what others post, I'm just not interested in sifting the huge amounts of chaff from the rare good bits, especially when it's much easier to do so on g+. I still have the facebook account as it is needed for the VT integration, that's pretty much the only reason though.
